My personal account. I take pictures sometimes and post them here.

I'm curious to see if anyone else is having similar issues to what I'm experiencing here in nostr.

On Primal, my feed won't load, nothing will load. (Only on mobile) However, I can still post regularly.

The other client i use for mobile is Plebstr, which loads my feed and everything just fine, but I can't post pictures.

So right now, I have to go on primal to make posts, and then go to plebster to actually see the post.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues? When I un-installed primal, it fixed it but only temporarily.

Another shot on the 800t film.

I think this is the only other one I might consider being in the "keeper" territory though honestly I'm not super pumped about the roll as a whole.

I have 1 more roll of 800t that I'll try exposing differently and hope that comes out better!

Nashville, captured on Cinestill 800T

This was my first time using this film, I'm thinking next time I'm going to expose it at 400 rather than 800 because I know it can look a lot better than this, but others have told me they liked this one so you be the judge.

Another one of my favorites from the roll of 3200

they called me crazy for shooting 3200 broad day but I think it looks nice

This is one of my favorite pictures I've taken from my journey from California to South Dakota. Captured on what I believe was Kodak 400 on my Canon ae1 from somewhere in Wyoming. I'd love to come back here during the winter and maybe take a little denture to the Tetons as well.

I'll be turning this account into my personal account. I'm into photography and like to travel so that'll likely be the bulk of what I post here.

I'll continue to create Bitcoin content on youtube and twitter so if that's all you're interested, you can follow the link in my bio.

I cant see any benefit telling people who are obviously already Bitcoiners why Bitcoin is good. Like what's next, "Hey guys, water is pretty good for you, you should try it"

To continue on my last post, what are we accomplishing if we use this platform to just talk about Bitcoin? We're all bitcoiners.

It's like one fish telling another how much water matters to them.

Like yeah no shit, we're all in the same boat here, it's a bit of a circlejerk at that point.

We're all on the same page as far as Bitcoin on this platform so why not talk about what else you do.

Talk about your other hobbies, interests, jobs, whatever. Use it as a personal account, so then when others outside of here and outside of the bitcoin ecosystem want to contact you, you can send them here, and Nostr can accumulate more normal people.

If Nostr remains a platform tailored to Bitcoiners, its not going to go anywhere and if anything, it'll make it ripe for social conditioning operations and psyops, but i'll leave my tin foil hat off for now.

>>>Rant Warning<<<

Echo chambers get really tiresome after a while... I wish nostr wasnt advertised so much as a bitcoin platform. It likely won't go anywhere if it only appeals to bitcoiners.

sure, eventually the world will adopt bitcoin inevitably, but theres a huge difference between Bitcoiners, and people who hold bitcoin.

Right now, Nostr doesnt appeal much to anyone whos not a bitcoiner. I can't see it taking off even if it was made better than every other social media platform combined, unless these other platforms had some kind of catastrophic failure.

Sure it's easier to get monetized here since anyone can send and receive zaps, but theres no market here. The money is in YouTube, Twitter, Meta, etc.

My proposed solution? People on this platform need to express their identity OUTSIDE of bitcoin, and make this their main platform.

While I do wish to work more on producing Bitcoin related media, I think im going to use Nostr as my personal account, probably focusing more on my photography.

That way when people take interest in my photos, I can send them here. Theyll see how seamless it is to get started on here, and they wont even be thinking about the bitcoin aspect. They'll just see it as the platform that that one photographer uses.

look at the bitcoin vs gold chart. its still below the highs of last cycle. thats one strong indicator. another strong indicator is the fact that the big moves historically always come the year AFTER the halving. regardless, even if the top is already in, step on is to GET OFF ZERO, asap, then from there work out a DCA, either a weekly or monthly investment you can keep going and forget about, of course keeping extra cash on the side ready for a big dip to scoop.

Then why aren't they? I'd imagine any bitcoiner conscious of the distribution of computational power of mining pools are still bitcoiners. really the only thing within reason to do is spread awareness and tell people to point their nodes elsewhere.

I'm no bear but I keep seeing signs of a continued downtrend. I called it 2 weeks ago and I'm calling it again. 100day sma will be met at 86k soon

New video coming up tomorrow where I talk about my predictions for not only this year but also the coming decades.

There is something which to me seems like a glaring issue that I've heard no one else talk about.

Gen Z and Millenials often blame Boomers for robbing us of our future and for us being priced out of owning a home.

How will future generations react to feeling priced out of bitcoin?

I will go into greater detail in the video tomorrow so look out for that.

A lot of folks on here will talk about echo chambers on the internet but the fact of the matter is that right now Nostr is a very tight echo chamber, at least for the time being but hopefully not for long.

With how it is now, though, i can't see many others having any appeal for a platform like this. It's much easier to use Twitter, all their friends are there, and it does everything they need it to do.

At this point in time, Nostr offers nothing that the average everyday person needs or even wants for a social media platform and hopefully that can change soon.

No matter how much Youtube/twitter/twitch/whatever restricts speech and pushes ads, people will continue to use it because that's where all the money is and that's where their favorite content creators are.

Elon is really still trying to make X into the WeChat of the US but i cant think of a single soul who actually wants that...

we need to accept the new years glasses were for the 2000s only.

New video up this morning, only now realizing I kept saying 50/100 week moving average when I was looking at daily moving average... I'll do better next week lmao
